We Did It

It is done ! Today we dropped off Dinner and his elderly girls at the butcher. It is a little bit quieter in the chicken yard, but that is a good thing. It was easier than I thought to load them up and drop them off. I sort of wondered if I could do it. Could I really take my sweet little pets to be made into food. I did and as a matter of fact it made me want chicken for dinner. Good thing I have left overs in the fridge.

We learned a lot when we dropped them off. The butcher raises all his own food and also sells a few pigs on the side. You buy them, he raises and butchers them for you. I sort of like the sound of that. It is definitely food for thought.

Skunky Acre Farms

Located at 6700 feet above sea level, Skunky Acre Farm is the home of farm fresh eggs, several different varieties of apples and cherries, with dogs, cats, and our two free range boys. We moved from the city to the country and are living the good, if not a little crazy, life.
